Hi, all!

Sorry, for, maybe, a stupid question.
I am doing usually uniaxial compression tests for calibration, checking
macro-parameters etc.
Shear-test is also not a problem.

But I have a question, how do you do tension-tests?
I understand, that it is not a usual test for mining rocks, concretes and
other similar materials, and I have some doubts, how to simulate it.
Using hexagonal packing, there is no "gap" between spheres, where it is
possible to place a facet.

Thanks for your help!
